Marijuana legalization appeared on the ballot in five states: California, Nevada, Arizona, Maine, and Massachusetts. And, another four states — Montana, North Dakota, Florida, and Arkansas — will be voting on medical marijuana.

With votes passing in California, Nevada, and Massachusetts, among others, Americans overwhelming said yes to marijuana.

It may well be a tipping point for the federal government's stance on the issue.

California — Passed

California is the world's sixth largest economy — in terms of GDP — and now has a legal marijuana industry.

Prop 64 would allow all Californians over the age of 21 to use and posses marijuana legally, as well as grow up to six plants at home. The measure would also create two taxes, one for cultivation, and one for retail. Businesses would need a state license to sell marijuana.

The ballot has been endorsed by a wide range of people, including Peter Thiel, a prominent Trump backer, and Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic House minority leader and the representative for California's 12th district.

Maine — Passed

Mainers voted on Question 1 on Election Day, but by Wednesday morning, the vote was still being counted. The Yes vote was slightly in the lead at the time of publication, with 90% of the precincts reporting.

If passed, Question 1 would legalize, regulate, and tax marijuana as an agricultural product. Adults over the age of 21 would also be able to grow up to six plants at home. The ballot measure would also set up a licensing system for retail marijuana stores, and marijuana social clubs.

Massachusetts — Passed

Massachusetts residents voted "yes" on Question 4. This ballot created a commission to regulate marijuana for retail sale for those over 21 in the state. Legalization will take effect on December 15, 2016.

The state would also levy new taxes on retail marijuana. Adult residents would also be permitted to grow plants in their home.

Nevada — Passed

Nevada passed Question 2. The initiative will legalize the possession and consumption of up to an ounce of marijuana for adults over the age of 21.

Nevada will create a licensing system for retail stores and marijuana clubs in the state, meaning that Las Vegas will now have marijuana clubs.

Arizona — Failed

Arizonans rejected Proposition 205 on Election Day by a slim margin — 52.1 percent voted no to 47.9 percent voting yes. While medical marijuana is already legal in Arizona, support for Prop 205 was split.

If the initiative passed, Arizonans would be free to consume marijuana and grow up to six plants in their homes. The state would create a department to regulate the cultivation, manufacturing, and retail sale of marijuana in the state.
